1787 Massachusetts Cent, Horned Eagle, R. 2b-A, W-6040, R.2, MS62 Brown NGC. A deep brown example with satiny fields and minor incompleteness of strike at the centers. Smooth save for trivial field ticks near the eagle's neck. The "Horned Eagle" moniker stems from a die break that extends from the top of the eagle head. NGC has certified more than a dozen of this variety, of which the present piece is the single highest graded. Listed on page 30 of the 2026 Guide Book.
Ex: Superior Galleries, 5/2003, lot 24, which realized $2,760; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2010), lot 15.
From The Costa Family Collection, Part II.
